Dear Graduating Residents and Fellows,

Longer days and the reemerging sunshine are reminders that we are nearing the end of another academic year. For you, this year brings a remarkable accomplishment – completion of the residency and/or fellowship training that brought you to the University of Washington.

Simply put, thank you. Thank you for trusting UW Medicine with your development. Thank you for your commitment to learning, despite the crises of the pandemic and societal unrest. Thank you, most of all, for the big and small ways you cared for your patients – and for one another – in these trying times.

May the coming weeks bring meaningful celebrations with your colleagues, your faculty and staff, and those that you love.

On behalf of the GME team, it is a privilege to tell you how proud we are of each of you. We join your programs in honoring the many gifts you will offer the world. Your future is bright!

Congratulations!
